The Immortal Blood [Taglish Version]

CHAPTER 30 - BUGATTI

Jade Cardwell

GINAMIT ni Ethan ang kanyang midnight blue Bugatti Chiron sa pagsundo sa akin at lahat na ata ng mata ay nasa kanya pagdating namin sa movie house.

Pa-simpleng yabang din ang lalaking ito.

"Akala ko romantic movie papanoorin natin, pero hindi ko inaasahan na mas prefer mo ang action movie," sabi ko habang papasok kami sa sinehan.

"I don't want you to fall fast and hard for me, baby. Dapat slow lang"

"You definitely sound like Mr. Christian Almonde. Ang tamis ng mga dila niyo noh?"

Humalakhak lang si Ethan at hinila ang kamay ko papasok sa cinema house. Habang nasa loob kami, naramdaman ko na hinawakan ni Ethan ang kamay ko. For me, Ethan is perfect excluding his playboy facade. Kung liligawan niya ko ng maayos, siguro matututunan ko din siyang mahalin.

Baka matutunan ko din makalimutan si Raphael Lancaster.

"Jade, gusto mo ba kumain ng double-layer burger with crispy bacon strip and with four different kind cheese sa Fifth avenue?" he whispered to me using his sexy voice.

"Ethan Brelsford, inaakit mo ba ko? And are you using the damn delectable burger in your seduction game?"

"Hindi ka naman tinatablan ng pang-aakit ko eh. I am not sure if you are insensitive as fuck."

"Insensitive as fuck? Big word coming from you, Mr. Playboy."

"Do you think I am such a jerk for breaking a lot of hearts?"

"Yep, you are big bad jerk, Mr. Brelsford. But to be fair to you, your flings seem to be aware of what they are getting into. Hindi ko nga alam kung ginagamit mo ba sila na past time or ginagamit ka nila for their own agenda."

"What do you mean, Jade?"

"You are a filthy rich dude. Not to mention na ikaw pa ang future CEO of Brelsford Corp. Most women will grab the opportunity to have a date with you or to take you to bed."

"Do you think a bad and a handsome guy like me will find true love?"

"Come on, Ethan. You are not that bad. You are an amazing man, player and flirtatious maybe, but a good guy. It is hard to find a genuine woman who will love you the way you are instead of your looks and money."

"You never failed to amaze me."

Ethan whispered as he suddenly touched my chin and faced me in front of him.

"Ethan, are you going to kiss me?" tanong ko agad sa kanya to stop this fairy-tale aura between us.

"You know that I want to kiss you, Jade, but only if you allow me to."

Hindi ako sumagot kay Ethan at dahan dahan ko na nilapit ang mukha ko sa kanya. I tried to kiss his cheeks almost near his lips.

Ethan has always been a gentleman to me. Alam ko na mabuti ang intention niya sa akin. Alam ko din na hindi niya ko sasaktan. Siguro oras na para kalimutan ko ang lalaking dumurog ng puso ko.

It is time for me to move on and leave everything Raphael-related behind.

"Is that a yes, baby? Or are you giving me the bullshit friendly kiss?" he asked while smiling.

A smile broke to my face as I gently kissed his lips. He was dumbfounded when I kissed him and it took him awhile to respond. His kisses are getting deeper and fiercer. I remember the time when Raphael kissed me like this, it was an absolute heaven on earth.

Why am I even thinking of Raphael when I am with this wonderful man?

Bigla ko naramdaman ang kakaibang feeling na may nakatingin sa akin. When I slowly opened my eyes, I briefly saw Raphael standing in the dark corner of the theatre house. I blinked again, but he was gone in seconds. My imagination is surely playing a hell of tricks on me.

"Are you alright baby?" tanong ni Ethan narang maramdaman niya ang hesitation ko.

"Yeah. I am fine."

"I am sorry. Did I scare you?"

"No, I am fine. It was actually nice."

"Really? Kahit madilim, mukhang namumutla ka na parang nakakita ka ng multo. May problema ba?"

"What? No! I am okay, Ethan. Gutom lang siguro ako. Mabuti pa, kumain tayo after ng movie. I am looking forward to that double bacon burger."

Bakit si Raphael pa rin ang nakikita ko kapag nakapikit ako? Pilit ko iniwasan na isipin siya pero lahat ng alaala niya ay hindi pa din maalis sa isip ko.

Raphael, what are you doing to me?
